(via: https://bit.ly/4bstCRQ )

Ingredients

5 salmon fillets skin on or off
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 Tbsp ghee or avocado oil or olive oil
1 small onion diced
6 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons arrowroot flour or tapioca
3/4 cup broth of your choice
3/4 cup coconut milk or preferred dairy free milk
1/2 tablespoon mustard any kind
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast optional, for flavor
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
1/4 tsp sea salt or to taste
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper or to taste
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes roughly chopped
2 cups kale or spinach, roughly chopped
Fresh minced parsley for garnish

Instructions

Season the salmon liberally on both sides with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, ad the onion and garlic powder.
Heat a large non stick skillet over medium high heat and add a tablespoon of the oil or ghee. Once hot, place the salmon in the skillet flesh side down, and cook about 4 minutes on the first side, flip, and cook another 3 minutes or until cooked to preference. Using tongs, remove to a plate and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium/medium low and add the remaining oil or ghee. Add the onion and cook a minute until soft and fragrant, then add in the garlic and cook another 45 seconds to soften.

Whisk the tapioca or arrowroot into the garlic and onions, the slowly pour in the broth white whisking, then the coconut milk. Stir to combine, then stir in the mustard, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, sea salt and black pepper.
Cook and stir over medium-high heat until it starts to thicken - about one minute.
Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes and allow mixture to simmer until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are softened. Add the salmon back to the skillet and simmer another minute to heat through.

Serve over cauliflower rice or with roasted potatoes and garnish with parsley if desired. Enjoy!

"After having a horrible 3 years of not taking care of myself - taking care of my dad with dementia, grieving the loss of my partner, and feeling like a blob (like those people on Wall-E) - I was in tears and looking for a place that could support me. I knew I needed something, especially having a background of martial arts, gymnastics, and my profession being a massage therapist. So when I got to this very vulnerable place in my life, I knew I needed to start at the most basic level, because if I just jumped back into what I was used to doing, I would hurt myself and I wouldn’t be able to sustain it.

As a structural massage therapist, I know very well that you need to break the body down to the basics to begin healing and start functional movement. I had been introduced to Body by Science by my late partner and when I found The Exercise Coach - this place and these machines, this is the way to go! I knew I would be safe while I built myself back into shape.

That was 7 months ago. Since then, I have lost 10 lbs- which was not my main goal of feeling strong again. Within the first 2 months, I was squatting to pick up my grandkids. At 4 months, I was actively running the dogs without knee pain. After 7 months, I am running up and down stairs and doing interval runs with my dog. My chest doesn’t burn, it’s not on fire anymore, because I am getting that workout that my lungs need. I can barely even remember or imagine how I used to feel before I started these 20-minute workouts, twice a week.

Going to a regular gym makes no sense to me at all. That is largely because I feel safe, all the coaches know exactly what I’m going through, even when I work with a different coach from day to day. The notes they keep are so good! The tweaks they add to make it more effective…they know the body really well and they know how to touch base with you when you’re not feeling 100%. For that reason alone, even if you have the smallest little thing, come do this. Your muscles will become more balanced in such a short amount of time. My posture completely changed- no back pain! I’m standing upright. My diaphragm is fully opening up, my lungs are fully dropping out. All this has happened in such a short amount of time!"

(Recipe of the Week) Feel intimidated at the thought of cooking a whole turkey? Learn how to make Cranberry Orange Glazed Turkey Breast with this easy recipe. Perfect holiday centerpiece with sweet-tart glaze in just 90 minutes!

Cranberry Orange Glazed Turkey Breast

(via: https://bit.ly/499atlg )

Ingredients

1 (3-4 lb) turkey breast, bone-in and skin-on
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup pure orange juice
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange zest
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prep Your Turkey
Remove the turkey breast from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it completely dry with paper towels—this is crucial for crispy skin! Rub the olive oil all over the turkey, then generously season with salt and pepper. Place it skin-side up in a roasting pan.

Step 2: Make Your Glaze
In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh cranberries, orange juice, honey, orange zest, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 8-10 minutes until the cranberries start to pop and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped rosemary and thyme. The glaze should be glossy and smell absolutely incredible.

Step 3: First Glaze Application
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Brush about half of the cranberry-orange glaze over the turkey breast, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting during cooking and for serving alongside the finished turkey.

Step 4: Roast the Turkey
Roast for 45 minutes, then brush with more glaze. Continue roasting for another 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of your breast and your oven. Start checking the internal temperature after 15 minutes to avoid overcooking—it should reach 165°F when measured at the thickest part of the breast. The skin should be golden brown and gorgeous.

Step 5: Rest and Serve
Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before carving—this helps the juices redistribute for incredibly moist meat. Warm any remaining glaze and serve alongside the carved turkey.

Note: Use pure, no-added sugar orange juice and swap honey for homemade date paste (approx 2/3 c) to make this dish approved for the 30-Day Metabolic Comeback Challenge. Find all recipes of the week on our Pinterest boards: https://bit.ly/3VhrcuT
